Copycat by Victor Costa with Cristina Adams

 This is a fairy tale-like memoir about a young boy who designed dresses on paper dolls for Joan Crawford in his ordinary middle-class neighbourhood in Houston, who eventually owned his own company, designed dresses for the real Joan Crawford and made millions of dollars. It is an interesting but simply-written story with much pain and anguish along the way. I liked reading about the glamorous fashion world, famous people such as Greer Garson and Oprah Winfrey, and Victor Costa’s beautiful dresses.

He certainly doesn’t hide anything. In one case, he had two women fighting over him, and one of them punched him in the ribs! He had an interesting private life at times. 

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
